Sobre este artículo
Per title page: "Complete directions for making and doing over 5,000 things necessary in Business, The Trades, The Shop, The Home, The Farm, and The Kitchen."
"Recipes, Prescriptions, Medicines, Manufacturing Processes, Trade Secrets, Chemical Preparations, Mechanical Appliances, Aid to Injured, Antidotes, Business Information, Every Day Law, Ornaments, Home Decorations, Art Work, Fancy Work, Agriculture, Fruit Culture, Stock Raising, and hundreds of other useful hints and helps." "Gathered from the Most Reliable Sources."
Sample information:
Here's an "Economical Hint" that still holds true: "The art is not in making money, but in keeping it..."
This is from a tip about making the popular red Easter eggs: boil in a decoction of logwood, then add some alum to convert the violet color to red.
Good+ condition. For its age, this is a really nice book (my opinion). The brown cover has black text and decorations. Title in gold gilt block on spine. Some corner wear, very little edge wear. Very slight rubbing near bottom front cover corner. Tan calico flower print end papers. There is a very light pencil inscription on second blank page in front. There is some age tanning to the pages. There is some soiling and a few spots on closed book page edges. Pages 102/103 were bookmarked with a piece of paper that was not acid free and it has left a discoloration. I have left the bookmark in place. (I'm guessing it was bookmarked for "Cranberry Sauce".) Inside pages are clean and tight.
510 pages.
